If everything is rarer wouldn't that be an incentive to kill people in itself?

Hi everyone I have have been playing this game for awhile now(maybe around 1.4-1.5) and I just wanted to share some tips with the new players. Disclaimer: These tips will only prolong your Dayz life not make you a god. 1. MORPHINE: go to the nearest hospital and stockpile this because a player with a broken leg is a dead player. (get other supplies as well) 2. Weapons: you're going to need something to protect yourself whether its a hatchet or a pistol you'll need it. 3. Cities: cities are great for getting decent loot but beware bandits do haunt those areas. 4. Backpacks: get a better back pack Czech and ALICE will do. 5. Travel: don't be afraid to go through the woods their are less zombies there. 6. Secondaries: Anything but a makarov (preferably a M1911) 7. Primaries: Depends on your style of play but starting out go for a Winchester. 8. Tools: Map and compass are near mandatory everything else is recommended. 9. Groups: Try to group up I know its hard to trust people but odds of survival are better. 10. Players: When meeting another player or running around in general keep your gun pointed down it help with trust. 11. Water Bottles: Personally I don't use them but if you are going through the woods get one there are more water pumps around. 12. Airstrips: Belota's Airstrip is generally more friendly than the other two and they all equally spawn very good loot some more than others. 13. Get used to dying: I can't stress this enough getting used to dying helps you learn about your weakness and what you can do to fix them. e.g. running in the open 14. Stay next to cover: I hope I don't need to explain this one. 15. Firefights: Keep your cool especially if the other person has a sniper and try your hardest not to disconnect and return fire, if you can see them, it will give you enough time to escape otherwise run like hell. 16. Ghillie suits: Get one ASAP they are rare but very helpful. (check coffee shops) 17. Carry two primaries: One rifle one sniper I hope you got that back pack I was talking about earlier. 18. Meat: Essentially mini blood transfusions. Well... that's all I could think of I hope it helped and if you have more to add comment below. Thanks for reading!

I just got myself a nice pack (Alice) and I am wondering about the second primary' date=' in previous games I've lost guns in my pack. As long as I have 10 slots free in the pack I should be safe correct? Thanks for the tips. [/quote'] You should be fine they fixed that bug.

Wow why would you even suggest that snipers are usually one hit kill and it would make killing hordes harder. No.

Do we really need a thread for this why don't we stick this information up with the leaderboard once its finished.

Night time servers are equally as dangerous as daytime servers with or without nvg's so why remove them?

Too...much...math...brain...shutting...down. Haha just kidding I like this dead a lot because even though I am a lone wolf I really wanted to group up with people and this seems like the perfect option since it benefits teams/groups.+1

Seems possible if someone can make the models for them.

If you want to learn how to play DayZ their is this great army simulator called Arma wait what you have it well play it you will learn what you need to know in a few tutorials.

Sure why not anything to help survivors find more weapons. +1

More infected in the woods means more players on the coast which means more random pvp unless the skin was brought back then their would be less pvp on the coast.

It might be a double-edged sword but its still a sword.

Good job hard target it looks like this is happening.

When is this update coming out any way?

Yup definitely.+1

Hell yeah why not add it sometimes I believe people shot each other just to get it.+1

I like all of them except for the increase/decrease of gun spawns it should be kept the way it is.

Yes to more hunting and yes to headlamps. +1
